Major Additions - PhotoPlog: The Lite Gallery

PhotoPlog: The Lite Gallery

PhotoPlog Lite is a gallery script for GIF, JPG, and PNG images. PhotoPlog Lite comes with categories, permissions, comments, search, moderation. The installation takes care of phrases, templates, tables, etcetera. Just follow the README.txt file for installation.

There is a license agreement that I request that you abide. Thanks!

This thread is organized as follows:

• Post1 contains this here release.
• Post2 contains current add-ons.
• Post3 contains onscreen errors.

Fine Print: see license agreement, no redistribution, copyright retained in full, right reserved to uncheck support box.

Requirements: vB 3.5.0+ (development initially based on having vB 3.5.4 though vB 3.6.0+ and vB 3.7.0+ should be okay, but not every version was personally tested) and MySQL 4.1+ (development based on having MySQL 4.1+ though MySQL 3+ may be okay, but not every version was personally tested) and PHP with GD2 and Safe Mode off

Does it work on vB 3.5 and vB 3.6 and vB 3.7? Yes, it should. See the requirements. Also, there are two product XML files, one for vB 3.5 and one for vB 3.6/3.7, so import the one that matches your vB version.

Live Demo and Official Support: http://www.photoplog.com/

Note on Official Support: With 70 some pages, assuming 15 posts per page, and over 1000 posts, all in one thread, official support for this mod is now held off-site. Apologies in advance for possibly having to register at yet another forum, but IMHO support would be better served elsewhere at this point.

All support requests, except perhaps for proven bugs, may be ignored if posted in this thread.

Comments, suggestions, etcetera are welcome, but please note that further modifications are not being planned, as this is intended as the final release of the lite series.

Fun Fact: PhotoPlog Lite v.2.0.6 had 4330 downloads plus 2262 downloads prior to CSRF protection plus 3031 downloads as of 06 Nov 2010!

Hey Calorie, great job as usual

Three questions for you

1- Which are the differences between the pro version and the lite version ?

2- Will it have change or addition with the current version ?

3- A final version it is close ?

Hi

I think that selecting "no one" as category should be optional for the admin.
I myself don´t want pictures outside of categories.
There should be an error "please select a category" or something.

Would that be possible?

@Allan: thanks, see post518

@StarBuG: in PhotoPlog's upload.php and edit.php files try:

// find the following:

	if ($photoplog_file_catid < 0)
	{
		$photoplog_file_catid = 0;
	}

// replace with the following:

	if ($photoplog_file_catid < 0)
	{
		photoplog_output_error($vbphrase['photoplog_no']." ".$vbphrase['photoplog_category']);
	}

File attach: French Language for version 1.0.6.1

Very nice addon calorie

Any idea how to apply a "specific" custom style to the gallery, so it better fits to vB ?
Would be very nice to have it in the "PhotoPlog Settings".

[KayDEE]

@StarBug
To remove the "no one" option, open functions.php and comment out the following lines with // at the beginning of the line.

	if ($parentid < 0)
	{
		$list_cats = array("-1" => $vbphrase['photoplog_no_one']);
	}

That way there will be just the "category names" in the dropdown menu.

[StarBuG]

Thank you.

I like the no one category because then the user has to decide which category fits and not upload all pictures into the first cat.

Is there a possibility to display more then 5 photos in the File List?

[KayDEE]

@StarBug

Open the PhotoPlog's index.php and search for

			sanitize_pageresults($photoplog_file_tot, $photoplog_page_num, $photoplog_per_page, 5, 5);

fit the last 2 number to your needs ...

For example:

			sanitize_pageresults($photoplog_file_tot, $photoplog_page_num, $photoplog_per_page, 10, 10);

will display 10 pics in File List on gallery home

@KayDEE: thanks, are you looking to have one style on the board and another style on the gallery?

I was getting this error too, and I'd set the chmod correctly, and its not in safe mode.

What caused it was that the PhotoPlog Directory and Upload Directory in the ACP weren't set to to the correct paths. I've adjusted them and it works.
